Les 4 Cadillacs is basically a creation of Nilo Sérgio, owner of Musidisc, who formed the group in 1961 for his subsidiary Masterpiece. Until 1964 five albums were relased with easy listening renditions of international repertoire.

Ed Lincoln most likely plays piano on all albums of Les 4 Cadillacs, but the rest of the line-up is verified only for the 1963 sessions with Durval Ferreira on guitar, Luis Marinho on bass and Wilson das Neves on drums.

Beside the two self-titled albums the group seemed to have a soft spot for the French language as their three other albums are entitled Doucement, Mon Amour (1961), Doucement Novamente (1961) and Doucement, Chérie (1963).

As always, Masterpiece provided delightful covers for all five albums of Les 4 Cadillacs. The art work for the two self-titled albums Les 4 Cadillacs is by Joselito.

Renato de Oliveira is rather difficult to investigate, except for the fact that he was quite successfully leading dance orchestras in the late fifties and early sixties. He recorded nine albums from 1957 to 1975, but more lasting were the five albums he recorded from 1959 to 1962 under his alias of Cid Gray. It is rumoured that Renato de Oliveira started to use this pseudonym in some of his shows to try a different style, whereupon people were asking for Cid Gray albums. In fact, especially Só Samba Sabendo Sambar delights with heavy brass and drums in quite daring arrangements of the contemporary repertoire.
